US DATES all on sale now

All announced venues are now on sale.
Interestingly, the show in Clearwater at Ruth Eckerd Hall is co-headlined with guitarist Bernie Williams. Nope, he's not an opener, they both have equal billing.

via the official Basia mailing list:

"We are delighted to, at last, have a substantial list of tour dates in
England, Poland, Austria and the USA.
There may be an additional one or two in America, but we were keen to
get these out there.
We will email the final list later.
Tour arrangements are in full swing and not without their problems,
but every day is one day nearer to the start of our tour and we are
both very excited.

Er, Dawn- I don't know if you realize, but you need to fly from Chicago to NY or Boston, too, and in all probability will need a hotel at least for one night. It's 10 hours for me to drive to Boston from Detroit, so probably 16 or so from Chicago. (I know this because it's the only way I can probably see a show at present.. 10 hours to Boston or DC!

There are no plans as of yet to have a Chicago show, sadly. (It's the number one question I'm getting these days!) They hope to come back to hit the other cities if this tour goes well.

16 hours would be nice! I just drove from Dallas to Orlando during Spring Break and it was 20-something hours! It's even longer to California. I will never drive further than Pensacola, Florida again. It's a beating! (not even for Basia.... :(

We just got home from what was quite possibly the greatest 2 hours of our lives! What a fantastic show you deliver. We have been fans since the late 80's and always said that no matter where you show up in America, we will be there. We flew all the way from Oklahoma for one night to see you and we certainly were not disappointed. Perhaps you saw us in the background as we sneeked in to get a glimpse of your rehearsal.

At any rate, we just wanted to say thank you, thank you, thank you for coming to the US. And please don't wait so long to put out another album.
